Wiggly tooth

John lost his first tooth in the middle of January. He has had a wiggly tooth for a couple of weeks now. Everyday he gives us an update on how wiggly it is. Tonight at dinner, he said "My tooth is bleeding!" He opened his mouth and showed us. Gilly gagged when she saw the blood. I told her to calm down and she said "Eww the blood." Daddy called Johnny over to him and looked at the tooth. He was able to pull it out without John even noticing and kept it hidden in his hand. John only realized the tooth was out after he felt his gums. He then said "I think I ate it!" Daddy showed John that he pulled it out. John laughed. He said "It didn't even hurt!" Love their different reactions to John loosing his second tooth. 

Birthday planning

John and Gillian's birthdays are in July. But that hasn't stopped them from planning their parties. Gillian has already decided "I want another princess party!" She has been telling me that for weeks. Now she has decided "I have a gymnastics party." This decision was made after attending a gymnastics party last weekend. 

John has also been talking about his birthday party. I would pick him up from school and he says "I've decided I want to invite three friends to my birthday party." I always say "Your birthday is not for a long time." He says "I know. But I'm going to make invitations." Yesterday he actually came home with an invitation. 

I asked him about it. He said "It's my invitation. I need to make more. And I'm going to give them to my friends." Again I explained to him that his birthday is four months away and it is too early to send out invitations. That satisfied him for now, but I guess I have to start planning a birthday party. 

Lunch

Most days John takes a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to school. We always tell him what's available for hot lunch. Today I told him that lunch was pasta. He said "Yes! I'll buy." Daddy also talked to him about lunch and told him that there was chicken patty sandwiches on the menu today. 

Everyday Mrs. Belena asks the kids if they are buying lunch or if they brought lunch. If they are buying then she gives them their lunch card and asks them what they are buying. 

When I picked up John from school today I asked him about lunch. He said "It was good. But I like the other thing that they had today too!" I said "Oh the chicken patty sandwich?" He said "No I had the sandwich." I was confused. He said "I didn't know what baked ziti was so I said chicken patty!" Yup. That's my fault. I should have said the pasta was baked ziti. Oops. But he said "It was good. I would get it again!" 

The secret

I tucked Gillian into bed tonight. Instead of just kissing her goodnight, I climbed into bed with her and talked to her about her day. We talked about her friends and school. After talking for a few minutes, I said "Ok. I love you bunches." And I gave her squeezies and kisses. She said "But I not done talking." I said "What else do you want to talk about?" She said "I tell you a secret! My voice will get lower. And then I tell you a secret." She cracks me up. She then whispered and said something that was Gillian's made up language. I said "What?" She again whispered some nonsense. Finally she said "I like fruit snacks!" Not quite the secret I was expecting. But very funny. 

The movies

We decided to take the kids to see the new Muppet movie today. All we told the kids was that we were going to do something special. This morning John kept asking for clues. I told him "Green." That didn't help him. I also brought Gillian's Kermit with us thinking that would help him. He didn't figure it out until we got to the mall. 

While we were buying tickets, Gillian asked "Can we get popcorn? And a soda?" I caved and bought the popcorn. The kids were very good while we waited for the movie to start. Gillian announced to the entire theater "I gotta go potty!" I picked her up and ran to the bathroom. The whole time she was yelling "I gotta go. I gotta go!"

I got to sit next to John while Gillian sat next to Daddy. John got a little scared with a few parts of the movie. Gillian got very scared when she saw the "bad Kermit." And she jumped into Daddy's lap. Later she told me "There was two Kermits. One was bad! The bad one take Miss Piggy! And Johnny know which one was good!" John said "It was easy!" 

At lunch I asked the kids "What was your favorite part of the movie?" John said "The muppet ladder!" Gillian said "I don't want to talk about it now." Silly girl never told us what she liked best. 

The deer

We just got home from dinner and when pulling onto our street, we spotted a deer in the middle of the road.  As we pulled into the driveway, Gillian said "That deer would be in big trouble if we ranned it over!"  I said "You are right.  The deer would have been in big trouble!"  Gillian then said "And Santa would be mad!  We would never get presents again!"

Laughed

I picked up Gillian from school yesterday. I asked her about her day in the car. She said "Dorlisa fall off the horsey. I laughed. And I go to timeout." I said "Gillian it isn't nice to laugh at your friends." Gillian said "But it was funny!" Once again, I am glad that I wasn't looking directly at her because I smiled. I'm sure it was funny. But I said "Well it wasn't nice to laugh at your friend. Dorlisa could have gotten hurt." And with that Gillian burst into tears. I let her cry for a few minutes and then I asked "Why are you crying?" Still crying, she attempted to say something to me. I said "You have to stop crying and talk like a big girl." She slowed down and said "I crying cause you said I can't watch shows!" She kills me. "Gillian, I didn't say that. I think timeout at school was enough of a punishment. Don't laugh when your friends fall because they could be hurt." And with that the tears stopped. She is a drama queen. But I still wish I saw Dorlisa fall. I bet it was hilarious.
